About this tool

The CSS clamp() function lets a value scale smoothly between a minimum and a maximum as the viewport changes — fluid typography and spacing without media queries. But writing the middle term (the viewport-relative expression that controls the slope) is a bit of maths. This calculator computes the exact clamp() expression for you, with an interactive viewport slider, a breakdown of the slope, and complete modular type scales.

Fluid values give a design that adapts continuously rather than jumping at fixed breakpoints, and doing it in one clamp() removes a stack of media queries. Seeing the value change as you drag the viewport slider confirms it behaves as intended across the whole range.

It runs in your browser, so it is instant. Use it for fluid font sizes, responsive spacing and margins, or to generate a full modular type scale that flexes with the viewport.

Frequently asked questions

What does CSS clamp() do?
It sets a value that scales between a minimum and a maximum based on the viewport, so type and spacing flex smoothly without media queries.
Why is the middle value tricky to write?
The middle term is a viewport-relative expression whose slope has to be calculated so the value hits your min and max at the right widths. The tool computes it precisely.
What is fluid typography?
Text that scales continuously with the viewport rather than jumping at breakpoints, giving a smoother responsive experience. clamp() is the modern way to achieve it.
Is it done locally?
Yes. The calculation runs in your browser with nothing uploaded.
